The Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF), or TeraGrid, involves nine resource providers operating high-performance computing, information, and visualization facilities, interconnected by a dedicated optical network and integrated with a set of common software that presents the user community with a cohesive set of resources and services. On October 1, 2004, the ETF will conclude a three-year construction effort to create this distributed environment and will transition into an operational state. This proposal outlines a set of services to be provided at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center as part of the TeraGrid system. PSC will enable leading-edge scientific inquiry by providing and operating an integrated resources environment to TeraGrid users. It comprises capability-computing platforms supported by tightly coupled, high-performance storage, visualization, and networking systems. PSC personnel will work directly with selected users to improve the performance of their applications on the TG systems, emphasizing scaling to large processor counts. Under a separate proposal, PSC will acquire, install, bring up, integrate, stabilize, assess and test on a representative set of initial applications, an early model (prototype) supercomputing system. Based on the Red Storm system now under construction by Cray, Inc. for the Sandia National Laboratory (SNL), it is designed to be a highly scalable capability system for very demanding, high-end computational scientific and engineering research applications. It will be interfaced to, and served by, the PSC file and network systems and will be a component of the TeraGrid. This proposal includes efforts required to integrate the significant new resource into the PSC and TG environment. The system will be sufficiently large to support a broad range of testing to establish its viability, at a larger scale, as a leadership-class resource for the open U.S. research community.

可扩展的Terascale设施（ETF）或Teragrid涉及九个资源提供商运营高性能计算，信息和可视化设施，该设施由专用的光网络互连，并与一组通用软件集成在一起，该软件与用户社区呈现了一系列资源和服务集合。 2004年10月1日，ETF将结束为期三年的建设工作，以创建这个分布式环境，并将过渡到运营状态。 该提案概述了匹兹堡超级计算中心提供的一组服务，这是Teragrid系统的一部分。 PSC将通过向Teragrid用户提供和操作集成的资源环境来启用前沿科学询问。它包括由紧密耦合，高性能存储，可视化和网络系统支持的功能计算平台。 PSC人员将直接与选定的用户合作，以​​提高其在TG系统上的应用程序的性能，从而强调扩展到大型处理器计数。 在另一项建议下，PSC将对代表性的初始应用程序集（早期模型（Prototype）超级计算系统）获取，安装，集成，稳定，评估和测试。 基于Cray，Inc。现在正在建设的Sandia National Laboratory（SNL）的Red Storm系统，它被设计为一种高度可扩展的能力系统，用于非常苛刻，高端的计算科学和工程研究应用程序。 它将连接到PSC文件和网络系统，并将其连接起来，并将是Teragrid的组成部分。 该建议包括将重大新资源整合到PSC和TG环境中所需的努力。该系统将足够大，可以支持广泛的测试，以建立其更大范围的生存能力，作为开放美国开放研究社区的领导级资源。
